The old Lollards were called "Holdfasts,"
not only because of their firmness
under persecution, but of their strong
grasp of the truth.
Coleridge said,
with a practical aptness unusual with
him: "What does not withstand has no
standing-ground."
"Hold fast, then,
the form of sound words, in faith and
love, which is in Christ Jesus."
Be
modest, unostentatious in all that is
your own, willing to concede everything
you have a right to yield, but be scrupulous
and immovable about all that is Christ's.Selected.
